TRIPLETS!

It's the first day of december and a pleasent ( 'sigh') sight greets me.
Baby Tay who has been 'carring' her huge belly around finally gave birth to triplets.
A black dapple and two black/tan pups. Two males and a female.
Seems this bitch was born to breed. She gets pregnant too often.
The four years since I got her she had had fifteen pups alltogether.
SPAY!...oh yea that is in the list of the coming new year resolutions ('sigh'..again!)
I didn't get a chance to take any really good photographs because they were still so little and the mom made a 'fuss' eachtime they were taken a little further from her sight.


Another reason why I don't want to 'play around' with them just yet. Mom was still 'bleeding'.
Both males are bigger than the female although she is nothing as small as Blink Blink when he was born.

Typically Mon's. Still 'red' as with newborn human babies. HE gets all the attention because dapples are cuter :)

WISE MOVE?

J.K. Rowling quote from her speech Harvard University:
"So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged."


I know, I know.... it's nothing like her life (HOW I WISH!!!) BUT we too can restart with our 'hidden gifts'.
What's wrong in getting up and direct the energy into finishing the 'work'??? our dreams???. The 'box' of talents HE has given us would be a waste to returned unopened.
What do we have to lose?

Where do we start?
I sit here and ponder...just momentarily thou.
This is going to be a 'fulfilling' passion and not just for me I know.

ALL IN A DAY

Today I felt somewhat like those intant coffee...three in one...kind of person. Expect that I think I became more than three should I really count it.
Let's see.... I woke up at the normal time that I do during school days.... plus the same feeling of wanting to go back to bed once the girls have gone off to school.
Despite that, I forced myself not to fall into that routine.
Looking around, there was really much to be done around the house. The sooner I'm doing rather than thinking of doing the better I know the situation will be.
I finally finish painting green colour the four iron chairs in the copound...Yea I'm a painter!
I 'did' two pails of cement mix for my smoothing project on the compound as well... hhmm I don't know what you call people who do this for a living but I was one of them.
I would have done more but ran out of sand ( -not buying becos there is still a huge pile at the back of the house ...BUT I will need to sieve them first because the pile has been there for YEARS!!!)
Today I also let out the 'chef' in me (again). I retried my kuih lapis with the correct steaming pan with tremendous success . The mould filled in so well as so with the final outcome product.



In between the 'real' work, I got to wash my car do a load of laundry , clean my room( includes cleaning the 'mess' the cat made and Blink Blink shredded newspapers), watch AFC and CSI (???) on Astro, go to the bank for withdrawal ,spent time with my girls...plus surfing and playing my online games... hehehe (a must!)
That all falls into my existing 'occupation'list catogory as a home maker I should say. Agree?
Phew! at the end of the day I could proudly say ' a good well spent day'.
EXCEPT for this...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh.. I 'hated' them cats!
It took me a while to clen up the mess ( with their help to an extend).
but all was well ...except I ran out of eggs that day

1,2...3... long days

Monday
free day... nothing to remember by. Was online most of the time inserting the perfect add for the new found 'interest' .
Rejected thou they accepted it the second time I submit it.
Phew :( all my 'punch' line tak kena pakai.

Tuesday
went out especially for Lydia's re registration at her school.
Yona came along as I've told her I wanted to trim my hair. She too wants that.
Stopover to look for baking stuff along the way home.
We took such a long time window shopping that we ended up waiting for Lydia to return from school before going on to have the trim. We then went straight to Giant and Survey to chek on the meat section.
Getting the prices to finalise the christmas's menu we were preparing.
Dissapointed that I didn't get what I came for..... turkeys!
I bought a big chicken to try on my roasting .

The girls somehow locked Ashy in my car. AAAAAAAAAAAA ( big Aaaa- serious)
When I realised he was not around the time I fed them dinner.
The thought of him lying dead somewhere crossed my mind until I saw him at the dash board.
The car smelled 'poop' the moment I open the door... true enough there was one..plus a puddle of urine at the back seat's mat.
The worse....and I mean WORSE was the fact that he made the seat his straching post.
AAAAAAAAAAAAA ( again big Aaas...seriously it was that bad)

Wednesday
Woke up early with the intention to get into bed once Lydia was gone.
Thought erased.
I was a load of laundy instead.
Did a little bit of cement patching using the cat's sand ( yea....litter sand)
I was just about to finish the steel chair painting when I got distracted.
The 'besi buruk' guys passed by and I managed to make a quick Rm15 for the rusted water tank laying at the backyard. I was happy enough if  they could just haul it away.Now I was getting paid....hahaha first time making money selling 'junk' too. At least  my task to clear the backyard would be easier now.
Went over to mile four to conduct my search for the meat price quotation. Today was my luck day. I got everything with just one stop. I even managed to buy some fish fillets while at that.
Bought lunch and head for home . Received an SMS from the comittee for the pasar malam thing. There was to be an interview at three at Elopura's MP office.
I went for the meeting which turned out to be just a briefing with YB Au himself.
Oh wow... I felt so out of place sitting there. No doubt feeling lucky to be amongs the chosen ones.
Bowling night for Yona.

LIVE FEED

Aha... you'll never know who would stop by your blog until you have installed them gadget.
I have taken note that more people are actually looking at my blog for unknown reasons .
Although to some, I know 'investigating' would be the a right word to use ....hehehe

I wonder why they even 'bother' to relate so much to what I’m writing about.
To 'relate' to probably?
..hehe
I'm optimistic. It's mind over matter, so I won't mind what doesn't matter .
People who are out to put someone elses down, simply have nothing better to do with themselves.

WEEKDAYS IN A "BLINK"

 Monday
...everyone went to school
It was a good morning in the sense that it was bright and sunny.
And for that reason alone I finally wash my car after putting it aside for such a long time.
Since I had the 'mood' to do work, I did few chores which include  the fun side of mixing some cement to fill in the little cracks that were all over my front compound.
Watch tv in between... seems like I have been doing much of this but I'm complaining.
My mood to bake was 'on' but there was so much  food  still around that the idea was finally 'killed'.
I did however  cook lunch for the girls.

Mom and Atlas came .They wanted to try out at new burger place that I have been telling them about.
A place where they suppose to sell 'real home made bugers'.  We wanted to 'see' for ourselves so to say.
After checking out the address on the net we found out that  today was their 'off' day .
Hhmm.. we opt  eat at Mr Bean instead ..BUT.. it was short of an hour before the girls come back from school and it wouldn't be fun to rush through the meal.
That in mind, we made a date to do this lunch thing tomorrow.

After they left I went on to watch Bad Boys 2 on AXN....that took my afternood off.
I made a point to move one dog house out for Uku. If there is a dog who can't stand cold...this is him.
We also got him a new baisin as his bed.

While Yona had bowling training, Lydia didn't and so we sent her to mom's place before going .
It was year end and just like every year, most of the trainees won't come during the school break.
I know for sure Jo wont be there. Just the thought of me sitting there all alone was dreadful....
After letting Yona down, I practically didn't go out of the car  till it was time to go back.

I had brought along my lap top to 'kill time'  but it kind of let me down when the batteries only lasted for half an hour.
The fact that it was raining might contribute to my  sleeping while lying down at the back seat eventhough there were  many people going in and out of the parking area.
Tuesday
Another 'no mood' day for me.
so It was infront of the tv watching my favourite series again.
Atlas called saying that dad wanted to go to sungai manila and asked me if I wanted to come along.
It hass been about a month that I have not gone there so I said yes.
Well.. that was the initial plan but towards the time to go , he came over and said that dad wanted to sent his workers to Beluran after that.
We opt not to go as that would mean I would have to make the trip to Beluran and  it'll take hours before I can get me back home.
We had dinner at mom's again tonight..nothing special except family time.
Stayed till after nine... which was their bed time :).
Wanted to go online but was too tired...I didn't get my necessary nap this afternoon because Atlas came and also because I did my pineapple tarts again.
I wanted to use all the jam before the expiry date( which is in dec..hehehe)
Went to bed early ...around ten

Wednesday
was not feeling too well this morning....a little feverish. Feels like I might be coming down with flu
Eventhough the much due 'aunty' was not here, my depressive mood was.
I didin't want to feel much of anything ...Just thinking of them makes me more depressive.
Was feeling like crawling into the corner and just be left alone.
I had a basket of laundry to  do and yet left them at the hallway.......till later.
I watch tv...AGAIN!
Mom called asking if I wanted to 'jalan' with her and Atlas. I said no at the initial begining but said yes on second thoughts.I knew I would be too 'lazy' to do much of anything except watch tv.
I felt that going out might put some 'live' to my zombie state here. .

Mom wanted to go for the new burger house that we have been talking about.
We went round and round looking for the plase as everyone had forgotten the name plus the address of the shop . This cafe caught out eyes but mom's heart was set on burgers.

Still..... we got too hungry to survery further so we ended up at Mr Bean at Indah Jaya.
Went for unnecessary shopping for household items at  Happymart supermaket.
Reached home a little past three.
Wanted so much to take my 'fix' but the show on tv was so darn interesing...hehehe
well.. I did kind of dozed off for a few minutes I think.
Finally I went and did my laundry while continuing my cement 'patch' work.

Bolwing night for yona again.
I didn't want to sleep in the car so I brought along the lap top ...plus the cables this time.
Wasn't very hungry but ordered light dinner because I sat at the cafe while waiting.

IDC

I think people who talk about other people behind their backs in a bad way is just bored and have nothing better to do with their lives.
Gossip is immature and a waste of time.
'Spying'?

Personally....IDC
Life is short, won't waste time worrying about what other people think.
We hold on to the ones that care cos in the end they will be the only ones there.
